Math Problem Statement

Solve the following inequality for qq. Write your answer in simplest form. 8, q, plus, 5, is less than or equal to, 4, q, plus, 10 8q+5≤ 4q+10

Solution

Let's solve the inequality 8q+54q+108q + 5 \leq 4q + 10 for qq.

Step 1: Subtract 4q4q from both sides.

8q+54q4q+104q8q + 5 - 4q \leq 4q + 10 - 4q 4q+5104q + 5 \leq 10

Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides.

4q+551054q + 5 - 5 \leq 10 - 5 4q54q \leq 5

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4 to solve for qq.

q54q \leq \frac{5}{4}

Final Answer:

The solution to the inequality is q54q \leq \frac{5}{4}.
